Burnley man harassed ex-partner

A MAN with anger management issues ‘stalked’ his ex- partner and left her terrified, a court was told.

Burnley magistrates heard how Ryan Needham, 35, put through her door asking for the Pandora watch he bought her in Las Vegas back.

Needham had already been given a harassment warning by police, but continued to harass the victim. On one occasion, she arrived at work shaking after the defendant walked up behind her on a car park.

Needham, of Settle Terrace, Burnley, admitted harassment without violence on or between last September 30 and December 3.

He was bailed until February 12, for a pre-sentence report, on condition he does not contact the victim, does not go within 100 metres of an address on Printers Fold, Burnley and does not enter Morse Street, where the school is situated.
